If you could have a superpower what would it be?

I’d like something alturistic that can help other people. I don’t want it to sound cheesy or like a self-help book, but I’d like the ability to change people’s moods in any way I wanted.

If you could have dinner with three people, dead or alive, who would they be?

A scientist with a philosophical viewpoint on science. I like people who have a way of thinking with facts using the right-hand side of the brain. I’d also choose a great chef and a carpenter – someone who is good with their hands.
